April 2011 Schedule for TCM
The April 2011 TCM Schedule was up when I checked this earlier, (though sometimes these things disappear for awhile). In any case it was here:
http://www.tcm.com/schedule/month/?cid=&oid=4/1/2011
It looks as though Ray Milland is the SOTM on Tuesdays, though mercifully, no sign of The Thing with Two Heads or X: The Man with the X-Ray Eyes or even Panic in the Year Zero on the schedule, but much to enjoy of this actor's work legitimately, such as Ministry of Fear,The Uninvited, Kitty, The Crystal Ball, Blonde Crazy (fantastic!), Beau Geste, Wise Girl, Night Into Morning, and, naturally, The Lost Weekend.

Re: April 2011 Schedule for TCM
I am really looking forward to April.
Wonder if there is any chance that Shirley Temple or James Garner might appear at the festival?

Re: April 2011 Schedule for TCM
I think that would be great if they could come, though it may be a heroic effort for James Garner, who has had some serious health issues in recent years. (Besides, he is quite a shy man from all reports). I also wondered if Shirley Temple would come--wouldn't it be fantastic to see films such as Wee Willie Winkie or Since You Went Away with her there to see and possibly comment on them! I am hoping that one of the "keepers of the flame" to the rich Gershwin legacy, Michael Feinstein, might make an appearance to discuss his personal knowledge of their work, thanks to his mentorship under Ira Gershwin during the last years of his life.Sue Sue Applegate wrote:Wonder if there is any chance that Shirley Temple or James Garner might appear at the festival?
I'd love to see Clara Bow's sons, Rex Bell, Jr. and George Bell make an appearance if they are up to it to honor their mother when the restoration of their mother's final film, Hoop-La (1933) is shown.
Wouldn't It would be "s'wonderful" if Gene Kelly's children could come to for the new restoration of An American in Paris? I bet Leslie Caron makes an appearance for sure if she can. She seems to be quite a robust lady and appears to have quite a rapport with Robert Osborne--which never hurts.
Ooops, we seem to have strayed away from the topic of the April schedule. Oh, well.

I sure hope the rest of the Universal horror inmates make a breakout too.

Re: April 2011 Schedule for TCM
ON TOPIC...
The first time I saw Frankenstein it was the 1931 version on the evening movie, and it really, really scared me. I was about 8 or 9. That is good news that is is out of the chute.
OFF TOPIC...
Moira, having any of Gene Kelly's progeny would certainly be welcome. I think they would be great at TCM Fest.
Rex Bell, Jr., and George Bell would be wonderful to intro Hoop-La.
ON TOPIC AGAIN....
A tribute to Charles Laughton is definitely a plus. Directing Night of the Hunter was one of his greatest achievements...
And if Ray Milland is Star of the Month, they are sure to schedule....tah...dah...The Major and the Minor...Not a baseball movie, but a babes' ball
with a roomful of Veronica Lakes... ('40's version of a chick flick)

Re: April 2011 Schedule for TCM
For the record, Rex, Jr is the only one still alive. His brother died some years ago. It would be great if he were there to talk about Clara.I'd love to see Clara Bow's sons, Rex Bell, Jr. and George Bell make an appearance if they are up to it to honor their mother when the restoration of their mother's final film, Hoop-La (1933) is shown.

Thanks for the update, Lynn. I can't wait! The 90-day threshold!
Kingrat, I am so grateful you mentioned the Jean Simmons' film. I don't want to miss it!!

Home Before Dark (1958) is also on DVD now via Warner Archive for 19.95.kingrat wrote:Also on the April schedule, to my astonishment and delight: Home Before Dark. This is supposed to have one of Jean Simmons' greatest performances. TCM must have solved the rights issues that had kept this film out of circulation.
I would describe So Evil My Love as a bit of a Victorian era film noir. The performances of Milland and Ann Todd are exceptionally good.kingrat wrote:Looking forward to Ray Milland. Too bad that Golden Earrings and Arise, My Love aren't included, but TCM has shown the latter within the last year. So Evil My Love is the one that interests me most. Is that a 40s noir title or what?

Billy Liar (1963) An emotionally stunted clerk retreats into his fantasies. Cast: Tom Courtenay, Mona Washbourne, Julie Christie. Dir: John Schlesinger. BW-99 mins
The Dresser (1983) A theatrical dresser tries to get an aging star through one more performance of King Lear. Cast: Albert Finney, Tom Courtenay, Edward Fox. Dir: Peter Yates. C-118 mins
Otley (1968) A petty crook finds himself mistaken for a murderer and a secret agent. Cast: Tom Courtenay, Romy Schneider, Alan Badel. Dir: Dick Clement. C-91 mins
Private Potter (1962) A young soldier refuses to fight because of a divine vision. Cast: Tom Courtenay, Mogens Wieth, Ronald Fraser. Dir: Caspar Wrede. BW-89 mins
